The Ohlone College Safety & Security Office was established by Board of Trustees Resolution 63-74-75. The officers are trained, and the training reimbursed, per Commission of Peace Officer Standards and Training Guidelines, Resolution 66-81-82.

The responsibilities of CPS include campus security, traffic, parking control, prevention and detection of crime, and enforcement of federal, state, and municipal laws. CPS has the primary responsibility for directing, planning, and controlling vehicle and pedestrian traffic on College grounds. CPS oversees the painting of roadways and curbs, placement of control signs, removal of hazardous obstructions, and other related tasks.

The College is committed to full implementation of the Student Right to Know and Campus Safety Act of 1990.

Do You Wish to Report a Crime?

If you have witnessed or know of a crime that occurred on campus, please contact us with your questions, comments and suggestions. To submit a confidential crime report, call (510) 979-7997 or complete the online Confidential Crime Report form.

The Confidential Crime Report is not the same as a Police Report that is filed and investigated by the police department. Because Safety and Security personnel will have little information to go on, we are unlikely to prosecute any crime reported confidentially. However, you may make this report in case you need to document the incident for future reference.
